What names that are popular on nameberry do you find overrated?

I’m not talking about common top 100 names like [name_f]Emma[/name_f] or [name_m]Joshua[/name_m], but names that seem to be trendy on Nameberry that you don’t understand the hype on this website for.
[name_f]My[/name_f] personal example would be [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].

For me it is Marie, Faye, River, Willow, Fox, Juniper, August,Ivy, Joseph spelled like this but I do love it spelled Josef, Lennix, Dove, Olive, Wren, Sparrow and Haley or Hailey spelled like this but I do love it spelled Hailie I have never liked these names at all. I also I don’t like girls to have boy names Brett for example and I don’t like for boys to have a girls name like Ashley. I don’t mind Maple I love that name it’s the other names that I mentioned that I don’t like.

I agree with Juniper. I can’t imagine it on an adult at all! Also it reminds me of the internet-famous fox by the same name :sweat_smile:

I do on the other hand love the name Fox because it’s a family name for me :fox_face:

I don’t understand the appeal of [name_f]Imogen[/name_f].

I much prefer the fresh [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] to [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] or [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f].

[name_u]Noah[/name_u] does not appeal to me much nor Jackson/Jaxson. This whole x in the middle of the name thing.

Everyone’s mentioning [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] but… [name_u]Jupiter[/name_u]. It’s a planet & a greek god who’s not kind & I don’t get the appeal.
